The first round of United Nations climate change talks in 2008 got under way in Bangkok at the end of March, with
the tough but successful negotiations in Bali still fresh in everyone's memory. Parties had agreed at Bali to
jointly step up international efforts to combat climate change and get to an agreed outcome in Copenhagen in 2009.

The Daily Programme is the official UNFCCC guide to each day's official meetings, side events and press briefings. It also provides an overview of the status of the previous day's negotiations. Hard copies will be available from the Documents Distribution area each morning before the start of the day's meetings. The web version will contain links to the documents listed under each agenda item, thus serving as a fast locator of the official documents needed for the day's meetings.
